FAQ

The purpose of the Furman Advantage Network Club Program, or FAN Club, is to engage life-long members who are interested in building and cultivating the Furman community in their area in order to enhance their sense of tradition, affiliation and pride that will support the mission of Furman University. The goal is to strengthen the relationship of the alumni with the life of the University, while providing opportunities for alumni to participate in programs that encourage professional and social networking.

You are assigned to a FAN Club based on where you live. Typically, FAN Clubs encompass a 30-60 mile radius from the city center, welcoming alumni, parents, and friends of Furman.
